Let’s make a game in World Builder! Cover Painting – Part 48

Doing some painting tonight for my game cover! Originally streamed July 31, 2024.

In 1984, William C. Appleton created one of the first point-and-click adventure games ever made, Enchanted Scepters, for the original Macintosh. To help build it, he created World Builder, a multimedia authoring tool, which was later published by Silicon Beach Software in 1986. It allowed anyone with a Mac to create adventure games with simple RPG elements. I experimented with it when I was younger, and I wanted to share this piece of gaming history with more people. I had intended to make something small, but I had so much fun working on it that I spent over a year creating my game, Transfer Point.

This part of the series is focused on painting the game's box cover. I wanted to create something that looked appropriate for a game made in the 80s, so I drew an illustration by hand and learned how to paint it with acrylics. My primary inspiration was the original Enchanted Scepters box art, painted by Joe Ferrara.
